I don't know what I can add to the other great reviews here...big superior rooms (personally I really like the design), convenient to a pier and dive shops, refrigerators in the rooms, friendly staff (from housekeepers who make the wonderful towel sculptures to front desk personnel), beautiful grounds, peaceful environment, and so on and so on.

If you want a huge, noisy, non-intimate hotel where you can spend a ridiculous amount of money - this isn't it!

Room Tip: definitely go for a Superior room

Get the superior room! We upgraded to superior which was supposed to have a ocean view - Right if you look sideways!Also we got the continental Breakfast - only toast, coffee and juice. Never used it!

Pros: Price, Location, good beds

CONS:1. Poor lighting, if you want to read in your room - all the lights are on the walls. 2. Employees let their friends and family use the facility (read pool) so it's extra noisy on those days.3. Literature says free WIFI in room - NOT 4. Needs work (read refurbishing)5. No comfortable chairs to sit on, also no desk.6. TV is 13" cannot be seen from bed.7. Free parking - for about 3 cars8. We did purchase breakfast and they ruined the eggs.

Take what you want from this review, but the beds were good, it was quiet at night and we ended up getting this room for about $20/night even with the upgrade (in the package including air). And the staff are helpful though ineffective.

Just returned from Cozumel, and again stayed at Villa Blanca. This is approx. the 7th or 8th time we have stayed at this hotel. We absolutely love our superior room which is more spacious than any hotel room in its comparison category and the grounds are very well kept. I just love opening the French doors in the morning, and just a couple of steps, and voila - I am being served breakfast by Arturo and his staff (Nemo Restaurant). Jorge, the hotel manager, and his staff will bend over backwards to ensure that your stay is extremely enjoyable. I am getting "home sick" just thinking about it!

If you're looking for a resort that has everything you could possibly want, this isn't it. It does however provide things the bigger resorts don't have. Like very few kids, if any, no teenagers, no loud music, Internet in our room and as far away as the beach bar across the street. Beds were EXTREMELY comfortable (compared to the rock hard beds at the big all-inclusive resort up the street solicited heavily everywhere in Cozumel). A/C worked great, PLENTY of hot water (although it did taste a tad salty) staff was friendly and helpful, grounds are gorgeous and well kept and rooms are clean. The pool is large and kept clean. Keep in mind this is a 50 room hotel that caters to divers (3 dive shops nearby). Papa Hogs Dive Shop is next door, Dive Paradise is downstairs from Papa Hogs. You can get a massage next to Papa Hogs. Hogtown Cafe has good food, reasonably priced. La Hach restaurant is across the street. Lapalapita is a beach bar across the street 2X1 Margaritas & Pina Coladas, etc., all day every day.There is a restaurant Nemo's on-site at Villablanca. It doesn't seem to get much traffic, although Arturo is wonderful and very informative about the culture and island life. We had the chicken quesadillas and they were excellent. We had dinner there, my husband had the grouper and I had lobster, both of which were excellent. The crab salad appetizer was simple but out of this world. We were surprised when we weren't given salsa and chips when we were at the table since that seems to be a staple in every restaurant in Mexico. The restaurant doesn't take credit cards.We certainly enjoyed our stay, it was quiet, non-stressful (not like some other resorts where there are too many people). Guests seemed to interact with each other and strangers more here than other resorts we've stayed at. Only complaint I have is that the fouton/sofa bed mattress was about worn out and was very uncomfortable to sit on, much less try to lay on.We'll definitely be back. One of the most enjoyable vacations we've had.

Room Tip: Upgrade to a superior room, upstairs and toward the back to avoid street noise. Fouton/sofa bed was...
